Jake Paul’s next opponent Mike Perry has made a very controversial claim about the YouTuber ahead of their boxing match.
Jake Paul takes on former UFC fighter Mike Perry in a boxing match on July 20 in his first fight in the heavyweight division.
Paul was due to face Mike Tyson and had packed on over 25 pounds to fight the former heavyweight champion.
Tyson had to withdraw from the contest due to health concerns and Perry jumped in as a replacement.
Now the former UFC fighter has made a very controversial claim about Paul heading into the contest.
Mike Perry makes serious accusation about Jake Paul
Perry has accused Paul of using performance-enhancing drugs to help put on a reported 25 pounds ahead of the contest.
The former UFC fighter believes that the only way the YouTuber could pack on that amount of weight is by using “cheat codes”.
Perry told Fight Hub TV: “To put on 25 pounds, I don’t know how someone does it without cheat codes.
“It doesn’t matter to me, I could just be saying that just to mess with him, I mean he does look flubbery.
“I also said to him, ‘I don’t think you look 230lb,” I think the largest he could get is 220lb.”
Mike Perry’s claims about Jake Paul using PEDs are untrue
Perry’s claims that Paul has been using performance-enhancing drugs to pack on the muscle is untrue.
The YouTuber has been involved with voluntary drug testing and tests performed by boxing commissions in the US throughout his career.
Paul has not failed any of the tests for the fight against Perry and has passed all his previous examinations for PEDs in the past.
